Picking classes?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm a freshman at one of the middle-range UC's, and since we're on the quarter system I am supposed to pick my classes for the next quarter in a week or so.</p>

<p>I plan on applying as a Fall 2010 transfer at some ivies and some top 30 schools as an International Relations major (my school doesn't offer it).</p>

<p>Currently I am taking Math 3A (calculus, 3-part series), writing 2, environmental studies 1 (including an honors section) and biblical hebrew A (3-part series)... I know my classes are all over the place -- the selection and availability at my school sucks. My question is:</p>

<p>-- Should I continue with math and biblical hebrew? They're not required for my major and don't really benefit/interest me... I was sort-of forced to take them because of the horrible availability of classes here... I'm just afraid that not completing the series would look bad.</p>

<p>And, if we're on the case, what are good tips for class selection, especially for a transfer applicant? Should I focus on major requirements or on my GEs? </p>

<p>Any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>always focus on GEs, because they are more likely to be accepted wherever you end up.</p>

<p>Higher Level Courses look much better than GEs, albeit they could be inconvenient to xfer.</p>

<p>They show initiative, commitment, and willingness to take on a challenge. If you stay within the same subject are it shows focus. However if you do not like the subject, than don’t take courses in that subject.</p>
